Ghoul

Crawling out of the late-1980s Marvel Universe in the pages of The Incredible Hulk, Ghoul made their debut in 1989 courtesy of the celebrated creative team of Peter David and Jeff Purves — right in the thick of that era's bold, character-driven storytelling. A rare and elusive figure with only a handful of catalogued appearances, Ghoul haunts the same corners of the Marvel cosmos as the likes of Joe Fixit, Marlo Chandler, and the demonic Satannish. Scarce enough to make completists sit up and take notice, this is exactly the kind of deep-cut Copper Age curiosity that rewards the dedicated Hulk scholar digging through Peter David's legendary run.
